Future Features
This chapter lists potential new features. They may be planned or even just idea phase future features. They are listed as polls in the repo discussions. Feel free to add additional ideas and requests there, and to up or down vote existing ones.
When features are being worked on you can find them as tasks in the repo project.
Adding new ideas as polls is a new practice that was started during 5.1.0 release.
All internally recorded ideas have not yet been listed as polls in discussions, only a few so for to test the viability of this practice. This comment will be removed when currently elsewhere recorded ideas have been added to discussions as polls.

Serialization of FlexColorScheme#
Including built-in serialization of FlexColorScheme, and its key classes has been suggested. I consider FlexColorScheme to be functionally on a level similar to ThemeData and ColorScheme. Therefore, it should not cover serialization of itself. Serialization has to deal with a lot of potential failure points. We think it should not have to be a concern in this type of component. There is no plan to add it.
Our recommendation for saving the state of a FlexColorScheme is to include values for its settings that you use in your implementation in other models in your application, like an "AppSettings" model or similar.
You probably serialize and store such data already, perhaps with shared preferences, hive, get_storage or some other solution. Include the values you need for your FlexColorScheme implementation in your stored settings and then use those values to restore your FlexColorScheme configuration and theme. This way, your implementation also remains in control of what it needs to store and restore.
From version 4.0.0 a simple approach using the architecture introduced via the Flutter "skeleton" template in Flutter version 2.5 was used together with Shared Preferences and Hive to persist and load FlexColorScheme on start. This is just one example, other implementations together with Riverpod, Provider, Flutter Bloc, GetX etc., and completely different local persistence packages work well too.
